Each year an S5 ESMS pupil is selected to take part in the prestigious Outward Bound Award, provided by the C. Neil Sharp Trust. The outdoor education award involves a two-week residential course at the Loch Eil Outdoor Centre in Lochaber.
Neil Sharp (DSC 1930) was fond of hillwalking and the outdoors and was a strong believer in the wider benefits young people could enjoy from engaging in outdoor pursuits and activities. As a result, he was a great supporter of the Outward Bound Trust in bringing young people of all backgrounds together to work as one in meeting challenges and pursuing common goals.
